Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application relates to the field of microbial technology, and in particular to Paenibacillus XP02 and its application in fermenting Poria cocos powder. Background Art
[0002] Poria, also known as Poria cocos and Pine and Cypress Jade, is the dried sclerotium of the Polyporaceae fungus Poria cocos (Wolfiporia cocos). Poria cocos is a traditional Chinese medicinal material for both medicine and food, which is included in the 2015 Chinese Pharmacopoeia Volume 1. It is sweet, light and flat in nature and flavor; it enters the heart, lung, spleen and kidney meridians; it has the effects of diuresis, invigorating the spleen and calming the mind; it is mainly used to treat edema, oliguria, phlegm and fluid, palpitations, spleen deficiency, poor appetite, loose stools, restlessness, palpitations and insomnia. Poria cocos is one of the components of the "Four Gentlemen and Eight Treasures" of traditional Chinese medicine. It has a wide range of uses and large amounts. There are hundreds of Chinese patent medicines produced using Poria cocos as raw materials. At the same time, it is also used in nutrition, health care and medicinal food.
[0003] Poria cocos mainly includes two types of chemical components: Pachyman (PM) and triterpenoids. PM is the most abundant component in Poria cocos, accounting for about 70%-90% of the dry weight of Poria cocos. PM can be divided into water-soluble polysaccharides and water-insoluble polysaccharides according to its solubility in water. Most of them are water-insoluble polysaccharides, and water-soluble polysaccharides only account for 0.5% of the total polysaccharides. Studies have shown that untreated water-insoluble PM has no biological activity and is difficult to use in the production of Chinese patent medicines and other pharmaceutical preparations. Therefore, traditional Chinese medicines often discard it as drug residues, which causes a large amount of waste and pollution of raw materials. In recent years, the solubilization modification of Poria cocos polysaccharides has mainly been carried out by introducing functional groups through chemical methods to modify its structure, such as carboxymethylation, sulfation, phosphorylation, etc. However, the chemical method has the disadvantages of high energy consumption and solvent residue. It is very necessary to explore biological processes as an alternative method for modifying the structure of polysaccharides. Biological modification mostly prepares oligosaccharides by enzymatic degradation of polysaccharides, for example, using hydrolases to directional remove glycosidic bonds to reduce the molecular weight and obtain water-soluble Poria cocos polysaccharides. At present, microbial fermentation is mostly used as a pretreatment method to improve the extraction rate of polysaccharides, and there are few reports on the direct degradation of polysaccharides by microbial fermentation. Microbial fermentation uses intact microbial cells as biocatalysts to catalyze the conversion of exogenous compounds, which can shorten the production cycle and reduce production costs. However, there are no reports on the fermentation of Poria cocos by Paenibacillus strains. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of this, the present application screened a strain of Paenibacillus sp.

[0046] Combined with the above test results, strain No. 6 was identified as Paenibacillus sp. XP02, which was deposited in the China Center for Type Culture Collection on November 12, 2024. The abbreviation of the preservation unit name is CCTCC, the preservation number is CCTCC NO: M 20242534, and the preservation address is No. 299, Bayi Road, Wuchang District, Wuhan City, Hubei Province.
[0047] Example 2
[0048] The Bacillus strain XP02 on the BHI solid medium in step (2) of Example 1 was selected and inoculated into a BHI liquid medium with a single clone of bacteria. The culture was placed in a constant temperature shaker at 200 rpm for 12 hours to obtain a seed culture medium. The seed culture medium was then inoculated into a SM+Poria powder liquid culture medium at an inoculum amount of 2% (V / V). The culture was placed in a constant temperature shaker at 200 rpm for 120 hours, and samples were taken every 24 hours; the samples at each time point were centrifuged at high speed to obtain the supernatant, and after removing the insoluble matter and bacteria, the total sugar and reducing sugar were detected.
[0049] The detection method is as follows:
[0050] The total sugar was detected by sulfuric acid phenol method. The conditions included: take 150 μL of sample supernatant, add 100 μL of 6% phenol and mix thoroughly, then quickly add 500 μL of concentrated sulfuric acid on ice. After mixing and cooling, boil in water bath for 20 minutes, and after cooling, pipette 200 μL into 96-well plate and detect OD 490 . Establishment of standard curve: Prepare 1 mg / mL glucose solution and dilute to 700, 600, 500, 400, 300, 200, 100, 50, 0 μg / mL respectively, and determine the OD of each concentration of glucose according to the above method. 490 And draw a standard curve. Convert the total sugar concentration according to the sample absorbance value.
[0051] The reducing sugar was detected by DNS method. The conditions included: taking 220 μL of sample supernatant, adding 440 μL of DNS reagent and mixing thoroughly, boiling in water bath for 5 min, cooling and then pipetting 200 μL into a 96-well plate, and detecting OD 540 . Establishment of standard curve: Prepare 5 mg / mL glucose solution and dilute to 2.5, 2, 1.5, 1, 0.5, 0 mg / mL respectively, and determine the OD of each concentration of glucose according to the above method. 540 And draw a standard curve. Convert the reducing sugar concentration according to the sample absorbance value.
[0052] Test results such as Figure 5As shown in the figure, during the fermentation of Paenibacillus strain XP02, the change of total sugar content in the fermentation broth showed an initial slight decline, followed by a significant upward trend; the change of reducing sugar content also showed the same trend. In the initial stage of fermentation, the content of total sugar and reducing sugar both showed a slight decline. This phenomenon can be attributed to the rapid consumption of sugars by strain XP02. The strain began to use these sugars as energy sources and substrates for biosynthesis at the beginning of fermentation. The slight reduction in sugar content is a direct result of the strain adapting to the new environment and starting metabolic activities. As the fermentation progressed, the content of total sugar and reducing sugar began to increase significantly from about 24 hours. This change indicates that strain XP02 has successfully initiated a specific conversion mechanism for Poria powder. As the only carbon source, Poria powder is decomposed into a variety of metabolites under the action of the strain, including water-soluble Poria oligosaccharides and some soluble reducing sugars. The test results reveal the application value of Paenibacillus strain XP02 in the efficient bioconversion of Poria powder.
[0053] Example 3
[0054] The Bacillus strain XP02 on the BHI solid medium in step (2) of Example 1 was selected and inoculated into a BHI liquid medium with a single clone of bacteria. The mixture was placed in a constant temperature shaker at 200 rpm and cultured for 12 hours to obtain a seed culture medium. The seed culture medium was then inoculated into a SM+ Poria powder liquid culture medium at an inoculum rate of 2% (V / V). The mixture was placed in a constant temperature shaker at 200 rpm and cultured for 120 hours. After sampling, the sample was centrifuged at high speed to obtain the supernatant. After removing the insoluble matter and bacteria, the total sugar and reducing sugar were detected according to the detection method in Example 2. The total sugar conversion rate and the reducing sugar conversion rate were respectively obtained by the following calculation method:
[0055] Total sugar conversion rate = total sugar concentration obtained by fermentation / original concentration of Poria powder added * 100%
[0056] Reducing sugar conversion rate = reducing sugar concentration obtained by fermentation / original concentration of Poria powder added * 100%
[0057] The test results showed that after 120h of fermentation in SM+Poria powder liquid medium, the conversion rates of total sugar and reducing sugar of Paenibacillus strain XP02 were 5% and 2.2%, respectively. Therefore, in the fermentation medium containing 30mg / mL Poria powder, after 120h of fermentation, Paenibacillus XP02 achieved efficient degradation of Poria powder and obtained a soluble Poria oligosaccharide conversion rate of up to 5%. This method provides a new and efficient production route for obtaining Poria oligosaccharides, significantly improving the conversion rate and metabolic efficiency.
[0058] The above description is only a preferred implementation mode of the present application and is not intended to limit the present application. Any modifications, equivalent substitutions, improvements, etc. made within the spirit and principles of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
